Remus walked back to his room to sit down and make the final preparations for exams at the end of the year and work on his speech for graduation. Professor McGonagall had asked Remus to give and inspirational speech on making your goals no matter the obstacles. So deep in thought Remus began to write this speech.
After what seemed like a few minutes Remus looked up at the clock and realized that an hour had already passed. But he was finished with the speech and the final so that was good. But it was time for dinner. He cleared up his desk, and left his room.
As he was walking down the corridors to the great hall his mind kept returning to the things that had happened earlier that day in DATDA. Ms. Granger had acted a little strange. But that most likely could be contributed to the fact that exams were ahead. He didn't know how he had made it through those final weeks of Hogwarts himself. It was nerve racking to say the least.
Remus looked up to see none other than Hermione Granger hurrying into the Great Hall with Ginny Weasly. A smile crept across his face as he watched all the students file in. They brought back so many memories of his own years at Hogwarts. But as always these thoughts brought sadness to his heart. So many losses and the biggest loss was his best friend James. He shook these thoughts from his head though as all they could bring was sadness and regret.
Remus walked through the large doors into the Great Hall and up to the teachers table. He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Ms. Granger was watching him. For reasons he didn't understand he smiled at her, and of all things she could do she blushed and looked away. Maybe he had misjudged her, maybe she did have a crush. 'That would be to bad now would it he thought in his subconscious, she will be graduating soon and she is a beautiful woman.' He mentally shook himself. 'This is a student you are thinking about Remus get a hold of yourself. But he had a strange suspicion that maybe he favored this Hogwarts girl.
He finished his way up to the teachers table in deep thought, and sat down to think and enjoy the delicious food that was always served.
Hermione gave in and told Ginny what had happened in class and that she had a strange feeling that maybe she liked Remus Lupin. Ginny said it was perfectly normal just to have a little crush on a teacher. But the thing bothering her was that it didn't seem like just a little fleeting crush. And frankly this worried her.
Hermione looked up to the clock and saw that it was time to go to dinner. She grabbed Ginny and they walked down to the common room together. They looked around for Harry and Ron but couldn't see them anywhere, so they figured they had left without them. On the way to the Great Hall all Ginny could talk about was her and Harry. But Hermione definatley not blame her. She was tierd of being alone, but was very happy for her two close friends that they had found each other to be with. Ron was dating Lavender and was very happy too. But Hermione couldn't help but think 'they all have someone, so who is for me/ I wish I could find him, I want my own man.'
When they came through the Great Hall doors they saw Ron and Harry sitting at the table. They walked over and sat down next to them. She looked towards the door and saw Professor Lupin walking through them. She couldn't help but watch him as he walked towards her. Then he looked at her and smile. She felt herself blushing and looked away. Why did she feel that way when he looked at her? This was positively indecent. But inside she felt a small glow in her heart caused by that smile, which only confused her more.
